April Showers and Tulip Tours

These April showers will drown the flowers and chase the tourists all away. The rain clouds hover, they run for cover and wish they’d waited for a day. But if they stay for only and hour they’ll find that this was just a shower, and it’s for certain we’ll raise the curtain on fields of tulips in bright array. The April showers are good for flowers. Come back and see us in sunny May.

Joyce, this is delightful. I remember my mom saying April showers bring May flowers, but you described it far more eloquently. What a beautiful poem! Love you, Carolyn

Enjoyed reading your work this day..My tulips missed my loving care last year and this year so they did not put on their show so I need to clean and prepare flower beds for next year..I do enjoy my tulips and this work made me think of them in all their glory..Sara

This is a beauty Joyce, just reminded me of our season differences, when we have Summer you guys have Winter and vice versa.. Bet you are looking forward to feasting your eyes on those beautiful flowers next month. I enjoyed this gem, love Wilma
